If you haven't figured out by looking at some of my older posts or looking me up on social media, I was once employed with Family Dollar--I was a manager, too, and a pretty good one, at that if you can believe it. Okay, maybe I was just a dependable, hard worker that kept a very good eye on my assets and did my best to be fair with my subordinates and customers. Being a store manager--meh; but if you've ever tried to control one of those dumpster-fires, you know.
(Seriously, it's a terrible job. And for some stupid reason, in hindsight, I'll say I loved it and that I wouldn't mind going back for more--if I could get the pay I had when I left the company!)
Anyway, despite company policies against group messaging at the time, our district managers found keeping a group-text to be helpful and mostly productive. Unfortunately, I as well as a few others, found it to be a great way to blow off steam and joke around with our peers. As such, I frequently made little meme-influenced images and either sent them to the district or to a select few managers. I cannot remember if this image was sent to the group or the couple of managers I considered friends. I don't think there was any inspiration other than the whole "momo" thing[1].

According to the file info, I would have created this image on March 9, 2019, about 15 minutes after opening my store.
